I've recently installed SuSE 9.3. One thing I don't like, is that incredibly ugly, out of focus image that now appears, when the computer boots. How can I change it to something that's not so bad? I've tried changing themes, accordiing to the instructions in another thread, but it only takes effect after login. That image also appears during shut down.
It never ceases to amaze me how people get so concerned as to what the boot/shutdown screen looks like.... :-)
Don't boot so often... an easy fix.
It's a notebook computer, which does get booted frequently. I normally don't boot my desktop system very often.
Incidentally, it looks like I've found where it's set. There's a file /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash, which specifies where the theme is. It appears under /etc/bootsplash/Themes/SuSE. I'll have to copy that folder over from a 9.2 system.
tnx jk
Hmmm... I've copied the "SuSE" folder from 9.2 to "SuSE_9.2" in /etc/bootsplash/Themes and used the sysconfig editor, to point the bootsplash to that folder, but it still shows the original images.
How does one change the images? Why does the sysconfig editor not appear to make any difference?
I've even tried replacing the SuSE folder, with the 9.2 version. Still no difference. Why is it so difficult to make such a simple change??? What am I missing?
